Kalshi
Kalshi has defined a new category: prediction markets. Kalshi allows people to trade on the outcome of any events and turn any question about the future into a financial asset. Kalshi fought for years and legalized prediction markets in the US for the first time in history, is currently the fastest growing financial market in America, and has thousands of markets across politics, economics, financials, weather, tech, AI, culture and more.
We believe prediction markets have the potential to be the largest financial market because they turn anything into a financial position.
Our vision: well… build the largest financial market on the planet.
Our mission: bring more truth to the world through the power of markets.
Our culture is simple: we hire really talented people, work really hard, and enjoy the climb. We are looking for ambitious and exceptional people to join our (relatively small) team to help us build the next generation of financial markets.
Role Roadmap
Kalshi is looking for a highly analytical, performance-driven TV Buyer to build and scale television as a major customer acquisition channel.
As Kalshi expands its consumer footprint, we believe TV - including linear, connected TV, streaming, live sports, and other premium video inventory - can become a powerful engine for brand awareness and measurable user growth. We need someone who understands how to deploy capital intelligently across TV channels while maintaining rigorous performance standards.
You’ll own TV investment strategy end-to-end: identifying the highest-leverage inventory, negotiating buys, measuring incrementality, optimizing spend, and continuously improving performance across channels.
